(Washington, D.C., Friday, June 4, 2021) – Each year, 1.8 million people are diagnosed with cancer in the United States. Upon learning this difficult news, individuals also have a minefield of complex information to navigate regarding treatment plans, insurance coverage, clinical trials, and more.

For more than 35 years, the Cancer Support Community (CSC) has been a trusted resource, demystifying the emotional, physical, financial, and logistical challenges related to cancer.

CSC Executive Chair Kim Thiboldeaux has dedicated her career to improving the lives of cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers, and is now releasing Your Cancer Road Map, a timely resource as we honor and celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day on Sunday, June 6.

Your Cancer Road Map is a comprehensive guidebook, providing advice and comfort at every point on the cancer journey, from the moment of diagnosis to survivorship and beyond.

Now more than ever, patients need the tools to participate fully in their health care, and communicate their preferences and priorities to their health care team so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones while living with the highest possible quality of life.

Kim Thiboldeaux is an innovative, internationally recognized leader who has dedicated her career to improving the lives of cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.
